Dr. Jan Adams was the surgeon that performed the tummy tuck and breast reduction on Kanye West’s Mother Donda West when she died. Dr. Adams is a top plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills and is also the host of Discovery Health’s Plastic Surgery: Before and After (Profile). He has also appeared on Oprah as a plastic surgery expert …see it here . It will be interesting to see if he gets back on Oprah to talk about what went wrong.
Dr. Adams told TMZ Dr. West’s death, which followed a tummy tuck and breast reduction, was unforeseen and could have been caused by a heart attack, pulmonary embolism, or massive vomiting.
Dr. Adams tells TMZ West consulted with him over a period of four months. He says she changed her mind numerous times, sometimes greenlighting the surgery and sometimes halting it.
As for the TMZ report that Beverly Hills doc Dr. Andre Aboolian refused to conduct the surgery because of a medical condition that West had, Dr. Adams said of Dr. Aboolian, “he is sleazy and manipulating the truth to elevate his own importance.”
